Yoga Poses Cow Face Pose (Gomukhasana)  Go means cow; mukha is face. This posture is a fairly deep stretch for the hips, legs and shoulders. Move into it slowly and ensure that you are able to breathe deeply in the final pose.
 Cow Face Pose - Arms Only (Gomukhasana) Go means cow; Mukha means face. Muscles stretched include the tricep and latissimus dorsi of the top arm; the bicep, pectoralis and upper trap of the lower arm.
Downward Facing Dog Pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana) Adho Mukha means having the face downwards; Svana is a dog. This pose resembles a dog having a good stretch. It stretches the spine, hamstrings and shoulders, while strengthening the shoulders and encouraging blood flow to the head.
Seated Double Arm Stretch This pose stretches the latissimus dorsi and teres major of the top arm and the biceps and anterior deltoid muscles of the lower arm.
Seated Shoulder Internal Rotator Stretch This pose demonstrates how to isolate the stretch to the internal rotators of the shoulder, including the teres major, subscapularis, latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major.
Seated Side Bend - Gentle If you are looking for a gentle way to stretch the side of your body, youll love this pose. Sitting in a chair allows you to comfortably move into a side bend without flexible hips, while being able to easily control the depth of the stretch,
Warrior I Pose (Virabhadrasana I) This pose both strengthens and stretches the legs. It is a great stretch for the front of the body, namely the hip flexors and abdomen, as well as the latissimus dorsi and the calves.
Warrior III Pose (Virabhadrasana III) This is a great pose to challenge your balance, strength and focus. Try to keep your gaze fixed and your mind quiet, feeling all of the subtle shifts that happen in the body.
